it’s alright; as i said, i can laugh about it when the jokes are at the expense of the rapists rather than the victims. i think humour can be a healthy way to deal with trauma—it’s something that i’ve always relied on, anyway. when you’re feeling frustrated or disheartened by injustice in life you can laugh or cry…

How are you in the black?

I was addicted to opiates when my son was conceived. I was treated with dignity and compassion and given priority admission to a treatment facility and SURPRISE! My son was born drug free. The shit ain't chess it's checkers.

It is my deepest wish that somehow a reality show could be created that would take care of Anna Duggar, her children, and Britney Spears. I would call it Raising Britney, and have Anna take over conservatorship and teach Britney how to cook and sew and other important life skills. I figure it can pay the bills, and I…

My boss assigned me a research memo and I was like “I dunno, man, I have plans to be doing girls tonight.” and he was like “Doing girls only lasts one night but this memo is forever.”

I’ve started doing the NYT crossword every day at work and it makes me feel so white.

Hey, if there’s two things that stop the minute you get into prison, it’s taking drugs and getting pregnant, Definitely two things that don’t happen in women’s prison at all.

Similar. I basically love pretty much every Obama/Biden meme.
